Scent Journey
The opening is an electric shock of Ginger CO2 and Peruvian pepper tree, immediately grounded by a cold, ethereal Somali frankincense. It feels silver-toned and sharp, cutting through the air with a bracing, medicinal clarity.
As the initial spark settles, the heart reveals a dense, textural landscape of Cashmere wood and Cedarwood. A clean, medicinal Oud provides a backbone of strength without ever becoming funky or animalic.
The late drydown is where the warmth emerges. The Indian papyrus provides a dry, leathery earthiness, while Labdanum and Saffron create a golden, resinous hum that stays close to the skin for hours.
Performance Dashboard
A solid 8 hours on skin, lasting significantly longer on textiles.
Above-average; it maintains a 3-4 foot presence for the first three hours.
Strong and persistent; it leaves a noticeable trail without being suffocating.
